The Mistake of a Detective.

Not many years ago Grand Trunk
detective, noted for his story-tellingpro-
pensities, was hunting for two station
robbers up in the Midland district. 1t
was winter, and he had a county con-
stable and a horse and cutter with
him. The scent became hot, and tie
detective discovered that the fugtives
were only few miles ahead of him,
also driving in cutter. He telegraph
ed to constable in the next town to
arrest two men in cutter, giving
their description. Now it happened
that the description given applied
equally well to himself and his COM
panion, provided the detectives bushy
black beard was clipped short. 1t was
getting dusk and very cold as they
neared the town, and the detective
buttoned his pcajacket over his beard
to prevent it from getting frost-btten.
When they arrived at the town dark
ness had set in, and they both jumped
out of the cutter to water the horse be-
fore hunting up the constable. The
constable had been on the lookout for
the fugitives, and, as the detective and
his partner turned up first, he inn
mediately surmised that they were his
game, so he quietly sent word around,
and in few moments crowd sur
rounded the cutter and the town con-
stable approached to arrest the pur-
suing party The detective asked
what the crowd wanted, and when told
he got mad at their stupidity and
undertook to lick the gang. In few
minutes he was knocked down, and,
after being mauled about in the wet
snow, he found himself and companion
in the little by 9lockup for the night
The night was exceedingly cold, and
the prisoners were almost frozen to
death when morning came. They
were taken before a magistrate. ex-
plantations followed, and they were re-
leased, but the detective ever since. in
telegraphing a description, is careful
that it does not tally with himself

Hore,s Lecture.


Judge Hore, who lectured in Ian
caster last spring to very appreciative
few, was greeted last Friday evening,
(Nov. 49, by very fair house, compare
lively speaking. There were good
many empty spaces that should have
been crowded. if the word of those who
heard him before had been accepted as
promise of what was to be expected.
Judge Hore cannot fail to please am
audience, for his lectures are replete
with wit and wisdom IF in this show
ing up Of the Genuine versus Shams
some of our comfortable self-deceptions
and pleasing articles were mercilessly
laid bare, it was probably a Wholesome
lesson. 1t is good thing once in a
while to stop and consider in how far
we are genuine and how far sham, and
the majority Of people will find that a
good deal of life consists in trying to
appear what you are not. Pleased,
when you are displeased; happy, when
you are unhappy; wide awake, when you
are sleepy; busy, when you are really
doing nothing talkatiye when you
haven't an idea in your head; sympa-
thetic, when you don't care fig; inter
estad, when you are bored to death;
religious, when you are not certain of
any thing; wen dressed, when your
clothes are threadbare; and rich when
you are poor. 1t is nothing else all
day long if you just stop to think about
i, and if going back to the old method
as the speaker suggested-the methods
that it is now confidently asserted made
our fathers and our forefathers blessed
among men-for heavens sakel let's
set the century back and get some gen
uine comfort out Of living.
The lecture was entertaining and the
audience d. not fail to manifest its ap.
proval Of the speakers sentiments by
what was certainly no sham applause.

THANKSGIVING. There were no
Thanks giving services held in either the
Episcopal, Methodist, or Congregational
churches The Episcopalans celebrated
their Thanksgiving, at what is really
the proper time, at the close of the gol-
den harvest season, by a Harvest Home
service. Thanksgiving ought really to
be .the feast of ingathering at the end
of the year" Instead of that, Thanks
giving day is now proclaimed when the
fruits Of the earth are slowed in barns
or dark cellars, and are already half
devoured. The Puritans thought to
abolish Christmas festivities by pushing
Thanksgiving far into the year, but the
joyful celebration of that day still sur
wives, and we are celebrating our
Thanksgiving too late in the year. The
